    Earth911 Podcast: Implasticfree.com's Simona Paganetto on Building a Plastic-Free Marketplace One Brand at a Time
    2025/06/30
    What if the solution to our plastics crisis isn't just about individual behavior change but building entirely new marketplaces that make plastic-free living accessible and transparent? On this episode of Earth911's Sustainability In Your Ear, discover the grassroots approach with Simona Paganetto, founder of Implasticfree.com, who has transformed her search for plastic alternatives into a curated directory of nearly 150 vetted brands committed to ditching plastic packaging and single-use products. What began as Simona's journey toward plastic-free living has evolved into a store that bridges the gap between conscious consumers and genuinely sustainable brands. Her rigorous vetting processes and careful curation has made Implasticfree.com a trusted resource for shoppers navigating the confusing landscape of sustainability claims and greenwashing.

    Simona's approach differs from typical environmental activism—she's learning digital marketing while building her mission-driven venture, creating a refreshingly authentic take on environmental entrepreneurship that prioritizes transparency and continuous learning over having all the answers. We also explore the psychological barriers people face when trying to go plastic-free, from the perception that sustainable products are always more expensive to the overwhelming nature of changing deeply ingrained habits. You can explore curated plastic-free alternatives at implasticfree.com.

    Earth911 Podcast: Terviva’s Marc Diaz Introduces the Pongamia, a Tree for the Climate Crisis
    2025/06/23
    As climate change accelerates and traditional crops face mounting pressures from drought, extreme weather, and soil depletion, innovative solutions are emerging from unexpected sources. Explore the soil-restoring potential of the pongamia tree with Marc Diaz, Chief Commercialization Officer at Terviva, an agtech company that has spent over a decade unlocking this hardy species’ dual capabilities as a nutritious food source and sustainable fuel feedstock. Through their Ponova platform, Terviva is demonstrating how pongamia can restore degraded agricultural land while building equitable supply chains that empower smallholder farmers, particularly women in India, with above-market wages and technical support. The tree’s versatility extends beyond environmental benefits. Pongamia beans are rich in both protein and oil, positioning them as valuable ingredients for food applications while simultaneously serving as feedstock for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel.

    Marc explains how pongamia’s nitrogen-fixing properties improve soil health over time, making it ideal for regenerative agriculture practices, while its protein- and oil-rich beans serve as valuable ingredients for both food applications and biofuel production. With recent partnerships involving Chevron Renewable Energy Group and Japan’s Idemitsu scaling pongamia cultivation for sustainable aviation fuel, and expansion into citrus-depleted regions of Florida and California, this versatile tree exemplifies the kind of adaptive, multi-purpose approach needed for climate-resilient agriculture. He also shares insights into what farmers need most when transitioning to climate-resilient crops: technical support, financial backing, and education about new cultivation methods. By addressing these needs while placing equity at the center of their business model, Terviva is proving that commercial success doesn’t require compromising social impact.Tune in to discover how one species is helping reimagine food and fuel systems for a changing world, and learn more at terviva.com and ponovafoods.com.

    Earth911 Podcast: B-SIDES Founder Yousuf Ahmed Introduces the Upcycled Crunch Puffs Snacks Strategy
    2025/06/16
    What if the ingredients discarded daily in food production could become the foundation of a more sustainable food future? On this episode of Earth911's Sustainability In Your Ear, discover the pragmatic vision with Yousuf Ahmed, founder of B-SIDES, a Brooklyn-based startup, proving that upcycled snacks can be delicious and environmentally responsible. Inspired by tasting a single slice of spent grain bread in 2014, Yousuf transitioned from finance and music to food innovation, launching B-SIDES to bring upcycled, plant-based snacks into the mainstream. The company's flagship product, Crunch Puffs, transforms oat pulp—typically discarded during oat milk production—into protein-rich, allergen-friendly snacks packaged in home-compostable materials. From sourcing pulp from small Midwest oat milk makers to manufacturing in Canada and selling through Amazon and New York indie grocers, B-SIDES is creating a playbook for how small brands can lead on both climate action and culinary creativity.Yousuf shares the technical challenges of working with oat pulp as a primary ingredient and the complexities of achieving a moisture seal with home-compostable packaging. We explore how his background in finance and music has influenced his approach to food startups, including the trade-offs between local production and proximity to raw materials, as well as strategies for positioning upcycled food to sustainability-conscious consumers. As Yousuf emphasizes, sustainable products must deliver on taste and price to succeed in the market—environmental benefits alone aren't enough. His pragmatic approach offers valuable lessons for entrepreneurs: real market-winning products that can change manufacturing's negative impacts while sustaining profitable companies must compete on quality first, with sustainability as an added benefit rather than an excuse for inferior performance. You can find B-SIDES Crunch Puffs on Amazon and at select retailers.
